Welcome

To quote the Cape Times......'Epstein Thrives On The Elvis Beat'. But that's not all. Besides 1950's and 60's style rock 'n roll, which is his main focus, Gordon Epstein also includes various other genres. Besides being one of Cape Town's busiest live music performers, he is also a songwriter and recording artist.

He has one of the best voices in the business, and performs solo on vocals, guitar, and drum machine. His music suites light background entertainment, for private parties and corporate events.

His songs are being played on radio in South Africa, Europe, the USA, and Australia.

Recently, the largest overhead music provider in Canada has obtained a license to play his music across the USA in retail stores, gyms, aircraft, and other establishments. Similarly, his music is also being played on in-store radio across Europe. Two of his original songs have recently been included in compilation albums, produced in the USA.

Rock 'n roll vocalist and guitarist, Gordon Epstein, is set to rock thousands of people at Cape Town Stadium on the 8th and 9th of March this year, at the Cape Town Cycle Tour Expo. He will be appearing in the food court area at 12:15 pm on Thursday, and at 10 am on Friday. With as many as 35 000 cyclists taking part, the Cape Town Cycle Tour is the world's largest individually timed cycle race.

It's rock 'n roll all the way, and rock 'n roll is certainly back now in a big way, with Gordon Epstein's latest single, due for release on 23 March 2018. This song is pure rock 'n roll and it's called Everybody's Rockin. When he recently performed the song, for the first time, at one of his gigs, there was much rockin'. A recent comment from a fan at one of Epstein's gigs, where he performed the song, was 'Gordy, Buddy Holly would have been proud of you!'. Everybody's Rockin will be available worldwide, at all major digital music stores. It could possibly also appear on various rock 'n roll compilation albums in future. When asked about his recording process, Gordon Epstein said 'I've got an extremely talented recording engineer. I simply go in there, perform the song, and within one hour the entire recording is done and dusted. We often use the first take.' Gordon Epstein records at Lightway recording studio in Observatory in Cape Town, where many top artists, from around the world, have recorded.

Gordon Epstein rocked the crowd, with some good old fashioned rock 'n roll, at The Stellenbosch Wine Festival this past weekend. 'It was a great experience. As soon as I started to perform, people rushed to sit in front of the stage and many of them danced. It was the type of event where you don't necessarily expect the people to react, but when I saw their reaction I was blown away. It's a completely different experience performing on such a big stage in front of thousands of people. I really liked it. For my set, it was just me with my guitar and drum machine, and shaky leg. I felt relaxed and had three excellent sound people to help me.'

Gordon Epstein's new song, The Cutest Little Baby In Rock 'n Roll Usa, has just been released and is already playing on 3 radio stations. Whale Coast FM is a radio station broadcasting to the towns of Betty's Bay, Kleinmond, Hawston, Hermanus, Stanford and Gansbaai in the Overstrand, as well as Bot River, Grabouw and Caledon in Theewaterskloof, in the Cape. Mix 93.8 FM is a Johannesburg based radio station which seeks to entertain, inspire and inform. Way Out Radio is a new on-line station, based in the UK, that aims to do things a little differently, with irreverent banter, cheeky off the cuff humour and a laid back style. The song is available at all major online digital music stores, worldwide, to stream or download, including SimfyAfrica, iTunes, Apple Music, YouTubeArtTracks, Spotify, AmazonMusic, GooglePlay, Deezer, iHeartRadio, Napster, MediaNet, VerveLife, Tidal, Gracenote, Shazam, 7Digital, Juke, Slacker, KKBox, Akazoo, Anghami, Spinlet, Neurotic Media, Yandex, Target Music, ClaroMusica, Zvooq, Saavn, 8tracks, NMusic, Q.Sic, Musicload, Kuack, Pandora, and Boomplay Music.

It's exciting times for rock 'n roll musician Gordon Epstein once again. His latest single, The Cutest Little Baby In Rock 'n Roll Usa, due for release on 16 February 2018, is set to be played on a new radio station in the UK, called Way Out Radio. To quote 'Way Out Radio is an online station that brings together with a diverse mix of music, the station reflects our passion for new music and undiscovered gems! We work closely with both local and international bands to give them an outlet for their music.'

When Way Out Radio received the song they replied: 'Many thanks for sending! ... Oh, my word! ... My heart skipped a beat when I first played this track for I love the retro feel that you've instilled into it - it's a simplistic song that - carried by your vocal supremacy - just screams pure talent!

So it's onwards and upwards for Gordon Epstein as he reaches for the toppermost of the rockermost folks!

Gordon Epstein talks about his new song, due for release on 16 February 2018: 'I'm reading a book at the moment, written by Keith Richards, called 'Life'. It's kind of a hobby of mine to read biographies and autobiographies of musicians. So one afternoon I take a nap, which I sometimes do, and when I wake up there's this Rolling Stones kinda tune in my head. Then I thought 'How'm I going to find words for this tune now?' It's easier when you write it all together in one go. But if the tune comes to you in your sleep, you don't have a choice. I really wanted to contact Mick Jagger and say 'Hi. I've got this tune. You are the only one who can write the words for it. When do we meet?' But I knew that wouldn't happen. I nearly jammed with his brother, Chris, in Munich in 2008, but I couldn't find the venue. Anyway, that's another story. So I made up some words to try and fit the tune, after working on it for a few days. The end result isn't really a Rolling Stones kind of song. It's more like....well something else. Anyway, it's got a vibe that's not too bad. I hope people like it.'

'The Cutest Little Baby In Rock 'n Roll USA' is due for release on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, Apple Music, Simfy Africa, Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, and Pandora. As well as at some other stores in various countries.
